I found the article intresting. I did not know about Americans losing their religion. I think it is sad. Americans should not lose their religion especially during times like these, when the economy is in the worse shape that it could possibly be in right now. Instead people should be united with their religion, even more in tune with it now that things are happening.This is saying that americans are losing themselves or they just might be finding themselves. I say they are losing themselves because they are starting to doubt their religion. Many people hear basically " God is on your side" and they believe it. That is what people are mostly tought in their religion. Some Christians think they are better than any other religion and the same goes for other religions. They think the same. People are forgetting that God love everyone and sees everyone as equal. So God has no side, he cares for us all. People forget this and they might think the pastor is lying and leave because they feel they have been decieved.I say that Americans also might be finding themselves because many people join a religion because their family is that religion or their friends are and they want to fit in. Some people don't want to disappoint the person or people they cherish the most. So they put their feelings and their thoughts about religion on the back burner. Many Americans are finally learning to think for themselves and make their own decisions about what thier religion should be. So either way this could be a postitive or negative thing for all Americans.
